You are looking for a camo painted ammo can. This cache should be done only during daylight hours. Very steep embankment that you don’t want to step off of accidentally.
This Cache is dedicated to my late aunt and uncle “Gee” Georgia and Reynold Marshal, from near by Clay Center KS. When I was a young boy growing up they would take us kids on all kinds of adventures, which included hiking, fishing, hunting for arrowheads, bottles, insulators, rocks and just about anything else that wasn’t nailed down. What great adventures we had! That’s why I have dedicated this Cache to them, because Geocaching would have been just their cup of tee.When I was much younger, my sister and brothers, and my cousins spent many a day at Gee and Reynolds house doing what kids do. Some days when Reynold came home from work we would all set on the porch and have something cold to drink. Then, there it was, the evening train whistle, “Here Comes The Train Kids” Reynold would shout and like trained infantry solders all of us kids headed for their Blue Buick, or “Blueick” as Gee would call it, and piled in. Off we were for the Broughton road, where we would not only catch the eastbound train, but pace it for a mile or so until we got the engineers attention and he would give us a toot on the horn. The train tracks were only 100’ or so south of the road. Then we were off like a shot for the bridge that used to stand where the road crosses the old rail bed near where you will park. It’s even hard to tell that the train tracks used to run right through here. We waited for it to pass beneath us as we once again waived at the engineer. I still to this day owe a lot to Gee and Reynold, and that’s why I wanted to dedicate this Cache to themThe Broughton town site sits about ¾ of a mile to the West, and there is a wooden sign designating the same just off of the paved road going south towards the Republican River. It is located on public land and you can walk around the old town site, but I’m sure there isn’t anything to see there anymore, except the sign.Please be careful while looking for and logging your find. Don’t forget to get a photo of the Bureau of Land Management survey disk just east of the cache. It is well marked with a witness post. The usual items are included in the cache as well as some trinkets for trade. Good luck, have fun and as always Cache Safely!

I have been informed by a couple of cachers that the posted coords will take you about 100-110 feet south of the cache container. I have posted this note until I am able to get the corrected coords posted to the page. Thanks!
